Most public courses in Chicago open their tee sheet 7 days in advance, though resort and municipal venues vary — some open 14 days out, some require a resident card for the earliest window. The release time is often early in the morning or at a fixed evening hour, and verified residents typically get a longer booking window than non-residents at municipal courses.

Yes. Most Chicago courses offer twilight rates — typically 30-40% below peak — for tee times started in the late afternoon. The exact twilight start varies by season and course; in summer it can be as late as 5 PM, in fall as early as 1 PM. The trade-off is that you may not finish 18 holes before dark, and many courses sell twilight as a 9-hole rate with the option to keep playing if daylight allows.
